Tonight while I was cleaning up extra apps on the computer, one connected to the Internet so I popped on here to check in. Not sure if my free virus protection was able to handle the intruders. I won't be doing any financial tranactions until I know.
Weight - sliding down from the 8 pounds gained with the bites. Rashes - almost healed. Throat - still swollen. I'm tired of people on the phone thinking I have a bad cold. Swelling in legs was better during the day, but swelling in the evening, but yesterday and today, that's better, too. The swelling pulled open a spot on my shin where my doctor removed a tumor a while back - at least 18 months ago, so'll watch that. All in all, much better.
Jeanne, when you over wanting to crash for diagnostic purposes, try heading of the hypoglycemic crashes with a protein/carb snack. Cheese and crackers worked for my son, daughter and husband. Heavy protein breakfast and cheese and crackers at 10:00 worked for them. The same cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers worked for my diabetic children, too. I used to have high blood sugar - straight protein was my drug of choice - no crackers. Now it's perfect, thank goodness.
Had a very long walk today so now my back and feet are complaining, but I'll survive. I needed one of the dogs to poo before the doctor's office closed. It took her forever as evening is her time of choice. Maybe I'll be lighter tomorrow.
Nancia, Olivia is beautiful.
MJ, that's good news.
Good night, all. I get tired when I sit still.
Wow,you have been thru the mill and back with this thing you got.We have a friend that called awhile back and said he has shingles.He said it's very painful.And he's blistered all over and he said it was very contageous.So,not coming around here of course.Last time he got it,they wrapped him like a mummy and his wife had to literally wipe his tush.Very painful.What ever it is you have is sure not going very fast.Guess because like all viruses,they have to run their course.Too bad they couldn't do a culture on it to see what it was so you don't get it again.I will be praying for you.I too was wondering where and how you were doing.Did you go to the DR to see what it was?Are they dying up good and leaving,or are some still weepy?Oh,I bet you hurt and are in pain everywhere,my god I can't even imagine what your going thru,and even been thru that past few weeks.It's just terrible and I'm sorry what ever it was bit you.If this is a allergic reaction,we need to find out what it is,so you can carry antivenom or something.I sure not go there again,I know some people die from stuff like this from the allergic reaction.But your tough and treating it right,so will get past it.I'd have to have silvadine and numbing stuff,as well as pain pills were it me.Heck,I get a paper cut and do it,I don't like pain from sores esp. Bad enough I have daily pain in the joints and back,but when it comes to a sore,cut, or scratch,I'm a baby.Good luck with all your endevours and may you heal fast.Sounds like your on the downhill side of it,thank god!!!!!!!!!
